As a secondary education mathematics major you find that you
are not common. I sit in classes filled
with engineering majors who are working hard and learning so that they can be
successful in their careers. I too wish
to be successful in my career, but I know that I will be starting at a
significantly lower pay than my classmates.
I could be an engineering major, but I am not passionate about it. I am
passionate about teaching mathematics; this complex and detailed discipline that
baffles millions, brings some to their knees and others to tears. I was once one of those students. Mathematics was difficult for me in
elementary school and then in middle school.
It wasn’t until my ninth grade year that I had a teacher that taught me
to really love math and I have loved it since.
He unveiled all the mysteries and created a dynamic learning
environment.
Helping people understand mathematics is my passion. Just this semester I have come to love
physics which is simply applied mathematics.
I hope to be a secondary education mathematics major at UMBC and declare
a minor in physics. I plan to teach
after receiving my bachelors and continue on and get my masters. My final educational goal is to complete my
doctorate. In my career, I hope to
create dynamic ways of illustrating mathematical concepts and communicating the
mathematical language. I have only
recently come to love physics, so my goals within that area are still
developing. The most important goal I
have is to never stop learning or teaching.
You go girl
